Incorrect Argument Set Error

Can anyone help with the below?

If I input the formulas into Separate rows they all work fine. When combined into 1 row I get an Incorrect argument set error

=IF([% Complete]@row = 1, "Green", IF(AND([Actual Start]@row = "", [Start Date]@row < TODAY(-5)), "Red", "Gray", IF([Actual Start]@row > [Start Date]@row, "Red", "Yellow")))

    Hi @Alex Szalkowski

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Try something like this (I've removed the Gray part because that was what was wrong, and I'm not sure what it should be)

    =IF([% Complete]@row = 1, "Green", IF([Start Date]@row <> "", IF(AND([Actual Start]@row = "", [Start Dates]@row < TODAY(-5)), "Red", IF([Actual Start]@row > [Start Date]@row, "Red", "Yellow"))))

    Did that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

    Best,

    Sorry about that. Try this one.

    =IF([% Complete]@row = 1, "Green", IF([Start Date]@row <> "", IF(AND([Actual Start]@row = "", [Start Date]@row < TODAY(-5)), "Red", IF([Actual Start]@row > [Start Date]@row, "Red", "Yellow"))))

    Did it work?
